How Is CAD Referenced? by slaveofone
Most articles in the monumental Chicago Assyrian Dictionary are now available online. This is a wonderful resource. And it is even more wonderful that it is freely available. However, there have been several times when I’ve come across references to CAD in the footnotes of various works and I just don’t understand how to trace that back to the dictionary’s articles. For instance, if I see a reference to CAD 1:158, how do I locate this? I would assume that 1 refers to the volume (the letter A) and 158 refers to the page number. But this is obviously incorrect and, further, doesn’t seem like a useful way to reference material that is organized entirely differently in the dictionary online. Anyone care to shed some light on this?
